Chapter 57

"Hahaha, ever since the lord took me in, the name Zhuzi has ceased to exist in this world. Remember, we must break through!" Perhaps knowing they were at a dead end, Zhang Dachun instead let go of his inhibitions, bursting into a bold, hearty laugh. Infected by his spirit, the tension among the few companions around him dissipated quite a bit.

The Underworld Cultivators in the battlefield, seeing their boss arrive, instantly felt like they had been injected with chicken blood, frantically hurling themselves at Buddhist Master Xinyu and the others.

"Trying to steal a chicken only to end up losing the rice used as bait." Qian Qiyao couldn't be bothered to explain so much, throwing back a single sentence. Whether the other man believed him or not had nothing to do with him. If he believed him, he could sort out the subsequent matters himself; if he didn't, he wouldn't even give him the chance to question Qian Qiyue, which in itself was the ultimate lack of trust.

No matter how conceited Luo Lang thought he was, facing this Ji Wei, he had to put away his contempt. He had never seen Ji Wei make a move, but he knew that Ji Wei had an enemy in the Northern Hegemon Empire, and that enemy was at the early stage of the Saint Origin Realm.

Upon hearing the bearded man's words, Chen Yu was left speechless. Nie Qing's mindset was truly... She didn't know whether to call her old-fashioned or clever, to actually know the trick of capturing a man through his stomach first.

As the group chatted while advancing, they suddenly discovered a good thing—it was a seemingly extremely rare ore.

"What is wrong with you? Is it because I accepted Yi's proposal?" Ouyang Yingqi said in an indifferent tone.

Qi Ming waved his right hand, and a surge of spiritual power rushed forth, kicking up a layer of snow to cover those debris fragments. The traces of the battle on the scene were practically wiped clean.

"What relation is that old grandmother to you?" Murong Di was extremely curious, wondering what this had to do with Shen Shiyi's affection for him.

Before long, Xie Ban'gui's hands suddenly paused at a brick seam, rubbing fiercely twice before bringing his fingers up to his eyes. Through the 'Blood Soul Eye', it could be clearly seen that Xie Ban'gui's fingers were stained with some brownish traces.

After finding a seat and sitting down, Xu Yuan emphasized her requirements. She certainly couldn't let Li Junxiu drink beverages brewed from powders mixed with artificial food coloring or containing preservatives and other harmful substances; that would be no different from taking Li Junxiu's life.

"All the preparations I made for you were solely to help increase your success rate of winning. But I said long ago, those were just to give you peace of mind. To me, it is all the same—as long as I make a move, there is simply no possibility of failure!" the demon Doom said indifferently.

"Humph, let's try!" The next second, Xiudao vanished before the giant snake's gaseous form, while the "Shadow Asura" battle aura instantly bloomed into mist, enveloping the giant snake's gaseous form within it in the blink of an eye.

However, there was no time to care about such things now, because Qin Yu couldn't wait any longer to practice this technique. Thus, without hesitation, Qin Yu chose to use it, and instantly, a massive flood of information rushed into his mind.

"Yes, My Lord!" Many powerhouses felt a pang of fear and spoke without hesitation, while others wore ugly expressions, clearly frightened. Witnessing this scene, Qu Yang withdrew his gaze and burst into loud laughter the next second.

The scheduled supply point was still more than two kilometers away, situated right between two villages. Even after securing supplies and replenishing their ammunition, lacking defensive fortifications, they would still have to continue retreating. The only thing that could offer a shred of safety was the next village a few miles away.

The fourth route army, Governor of Yuzhou Kong Zhou, led a force of twenty thousand troops to march through Xuanyuan Mountain, bypassing the Nanyang Yellow Turbans to head toward Hulao Pass.

The general crackled and scattered into a massive, roiling cloud of black smoke, then rapidly re-gathered. Taking advantage of the Xiantian warrior's momentary paralysis, it hissed as it pierced through the protective spiritual light barrier, roaring upward to pounce upon a Xiantian warrior, swallowing him whole in a single flash.

In an instant, Yi Chun felt as though he were soaking in a hot spring. His whole body felt warm and cozy, his drained physical strength rapidly recovering, and his body no longer aching or exhausted.

Regardless of whether I was overthinking things, and regardless of whether those people were truly members of the Black Fiend Sect, using the bus to evade them finally eased the tight tension in my chest. It wasn't until we had driven quite far and I looked in the rearview mirror to see neither the vehicle nor the people moving that I finally let out a complete sigh of relief.

A few gentle breezes blew by, causing the young man's pristine white robes to flutter, looking both unrestrained and deeply solemn. His tall and slender figure seemed to have long since cast aside the myriad entanglements of the mortal world, yet he always remained inseparable from it.

"Respect? The respect of the strong? You really guessed wrong there. Yes, it does respect me, but that respect is not the kind of respect one has for the strong!" Bingbing Qin retorted playfully once more.

Regrettably, he lacked Sawakita's ability to contest under the rim, and facing Akagi, he could only pass the ball to Sawakita Eiji, who appeared to be wide open.

After careful consideration and for the sake of a smooth plot progression, Li Wei still decided to let Guo Fu sever his right arm. However, at the same time, he gathered his internal energy into the soles of his feet and kicked Guo Fu right in her pretty face, then picked up his severed right arm and left Xiangyang.

"What a pity. If it were a year later, I definitely wouldn't be your opponent!" The great dragon sighed slowly. Although the challenger was currently frozen into an ice sculpture, his gaze held a trace of pity as well.

"Still not stepping aside?" Repeating his reminder, it proved his patience had reached its limit. Veins bulged on his forehead, his gaze grew increasingly sharp, and his detached, chilly demeanor was enough to make anyone's heart race with terror.

Everything was just as it had been: the dilapidated houses, the aged and lazy villagers, and the barren divine tree occupying a large vacant area right in the center of the village.

"What has gotten into you?" Song Weili looked at her face, which was twisted almost beyond recognition with anger, feeling immensely surprised.

Though Zhang Lei and Liu Jiao resisted desperately, they were ultimately no match for two grown men. By this time, both women had been pinned beneath their attackers, who were simultaneously smirking lewdly and reaching out to tear at their clothes.
